Speaking to Business Week, former WWE CEO Linda McMahon said that she
doesn’t see herself running for public office again although things can
always change. McMahon is fresh off a second – and much wider – defeat in
the Senate elections, having blown almost $100 million for the two
campaigns spanning over 4 years. For the first campaign in 2010, McMahon
did not accept any donations and funded the whole thing with her own money
to a tune of $50 million. “I feel really good about what I’ve
accomplished. I think people were more thoroughly convinced the second
time around that I was passionate about these issues,” McMahon said. When
asked about running again, McMahon said she gave it a really good and
strong shot but it didn’t work out. “At this moment, it’s not a
consideration. Things can always change but it’s not something I
anticipate right now.” She noted that she discovered that she lost this
year’s election when she was sitting by herself while she was gathering
thoughts of would would be a victory speech. She said she saw on ABC that
Chris Murphy’s name popped up as the winner just 40 minutes after polls in
Connecticut closed, leaving her “stunned for a moment.”
